Thanks to the rapid progress of the Internet, big data, cloud computing and other fields, in recent years, the efficiency and precision of artificial intelligence in the field of manufacturing have been continuously improved, and the application of artificial intelligence in life and work has become more and more extensive. What are the prospects for the future application of Chinese intelligence? What are the strategic objectives? Zhou Ji, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and honorary chairman of the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, reviewed the development history of intelligent manufacturing and gave suggestions at the opening ceremony and special invitation speech of the 2018 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Academician Summit and the 4th Guangdong Academician Annual Summit, xinhuanet reported.


There are three basic paradigms of intelligent manufacturing

Intelligent manufacturing is the main starting point and main direction of innovation and development of China's manufacturing industry. At present, the industrial Internet, big data and artificial intelligence to achieve group breakthrough and integration of application, with a new generation of artificial intelligence technology as the characteristics of information has created a new stage of manufacturing digital, network, intelligent manufacturing.

In the evolution and development of intelligent manufacturing, three basic paradigms can be summed up. One is digital manufacturing, which is the first basic paradigm of intelligent manufacturing and can also be called the first generation of intelligent manufacturing. Second, Internet + manufacturing, which is essentially Internet + digital manufacturing, is the second basic paradigm of intelligent manufacturing, which can also be called the second generation of intelligent manufacturing. The third is the new generation of intelligent manufacturing, which is the third basic paradigm of intelligent manufacturing. The deep integration of the new generation of artificial intelligence technology and advanced manufacturing technology has formed a new generation of intelligent manufacturing.



The new generation of intelligent manufacturing will lead and promote a new round of industrial revolution


The new generation of intelligent manufacturing is the real sense of intelligent manufacturing, will lead and promote a new round of industrial revolution. The new generation of intelligent manufacturing is a large system, which is mainly composed of intelligent products, intelligent production and intelligent services, as well as intelligent manufacturing cloud and industrial intelligence network.

First, the new generation of intelligent manufacturing technology will plug in the wings for the innovation of products and equipment, and open up a broader world. By 2035, a variety of products and equipment will be upgraded to smart products and equipment.

Second, intelligent production is the main line of the new generation of intelligent manufacturing system, process industry occupies a fundamental strategic position in the national economy, is likely to take the lead in breaking through the new generation of intelligent manufacturing. In the future for a long time, the production capacity of enterprises to upgrade, production line, workshop, the intelligent upgrade of the factory will become the main battlefield to promote intelligent manufacturing.

Thirdly, the industrial mode reform with intelligent service as the core is the theme of the new generation of intelligent manufacturing system. The application of the new generation of artificial intelligence technology has brought about a revolutionary transformation of the industrial model, which will realize the transformation from product-centered to user-centered.

Fourth, intelligent manufacturing cloud and industrial intelligence network is the basis of supporting the new generation of intelligent manufacturing system, will be the new generation of intelligent manufacturing productivity and production mode change, provide development space and reliable guarantee.

Adhere to the technical route of "parallel promotion and integrated development"

China in the development of intelligent manufacturing strategy for realizing manufacturing power as the goal, to deepen the reform of the supply side structural as the main line, intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, adhere to the "parallel propulsion, fusion development" the technical route, deployed around the industry chain innovation chain, perfect capital chain around innovation chain, forming the depth of the economic, technological and financial integration, a virtuous cycle, China's manufacturing industry has achieved intelligent upgrading and leapfrog development.

The next 20 years will be a critical period for China's manufacturing industry to grow from large to strong. It will also be a critical period for the quality, efficiency and momentum of the manufacturing industry to change. At the same time, the next 20 years will be a critical period for the development of intelligent manufacturing as the core technology of a new round of industrial revolution.


In addition, in the process of promoting intelligent manufacturing, we should adhere to five guidelines: first, we should adhere to innovation-driven; second, we should adhere to adapt measures to business conditions; third, we should adhere to industrial upgrading; fourth, we should adhere to the construction of a good development ecology; fifth, we should adhere to open and collaborative innovation.
